US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said today the White House may be ready to “move on” from efforts for a Russia-Ukraine peace deal if there is not progress in the coming days.

Speaking in Paris after talks between US, Ukrainian and European officials, Mr Rubio said the discussions had been constructive and produced an outline for steps toward peace.

French officials said another meeting in the same format is expected to take in London. Mr Rubio said he could join that meeting which is expected early next week.
